What I wonder is how those same people in the US would feel if countries like China or Russia did the same thing openly.

I've been involved in enough government stuff to know that resources like that don't get spent unless the target is _really_ bad.

The FBI often refers cases with single digit millions in losses to state and local, because the SAs are busy with bigger cases.

Does it matter if they do the same thing (or worse) openly or covertly?
